The Vennela Kishore & Mehreen Pirzada partnership
From Mahanubhavudu (2017) to Entha Manchivaadavuraa (2020). Entha Manchivaadavuraa (2020, 7.5/10) is the underseen one in the catalogue. Mahanubhavudu is the one most viewers reach for.
It started with Mahanubhavudu (2017).
The shape of the work
The 2010s belonged to Mahanubhavudu; the 2020s to Entha Manchivaadavuraa. Vennela Kishore acted in every film; Mehreen Pirzada acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Vennela Kishore was the one who suggested Mehreen Pirzada for the female lead in Mahanubhavudu (2017). He had worked with her earlier in a Tamil film and told director Maruthi she'd be perfect for the role.
- In F2 (2019), Vennela Kishore's deadpan delivery made Mehreen Pirzada break character multiple times. The director kept their outtakes because her genuine laughter added a layer of fun to their scenes together.
- Their pairing in Entha Manchivaadavuraa (2020) was the first time a Telugu comedy film openly addressed a man's fear of commitment without making the woman the punchline. That film's success led to more nuanced relationship comedies in Telugu cinema that year.
- During the shoot of Mahanubhavudu, Vennela Kishore and Mehreen Pirzada developed a ritual of sharing a cup of chai before every scene they had together. They kept this up through all three films.
- Mehreen Pirzada said about Vennela Kishore: 'He doesn't just make you laugh — he makes you want to be funnier. I learned timing from watching him.'
